The Cuttlebug Challenge Birthday Palooza Continues!!! It is week number three in their month-long celebration. The first week, we had to create an invitation to our "themed" party, then we had to create a gift bag & card and this week we had to create a matching mini album We were to choose a theme and follow it all the way through this month to end up with a fantastic party theme completely ready to go! We also have to use a Cuttlebug embossing folder of our choice. I chose the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder for this album because it made that hankerchief hanging out of the pocket look so real! So...here's my mini album for this latest Cuttlebug Challenge. My party theme is fishing. There are so many possibilities for this theme. Wait until you see.

The Cuttlebug Challenges Birthday Palooza goes on! It is week number two in their month-long celebration. The first week, we had to create an invitation to our "themed" party, this week we were to create a gift bag & card. I combined both mine into one. The layer on top of the bag comes off to reveal the greeting for the card. I used a border folder from Cuttlebugs With Love A2 Embossing Border Folders to give a soft water ripple. So many people are awed idea of card & bag all in one that it is about the only way I give a gift.

This week, we had to create an invitation to our themed party, then we have to use that same theme throughout the whole month to complete our party!!! Plus we must use a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used a border folder from Cuttlebugs With Love A2 Embossing Border Folders to give a soft water ripple.

Okay here it is...my theme is a fishing adventure. I got the idea for this card from my friend, Diane. We made one very similar to this at a camp she gave. I fell in love with this set from Close to My Heart immediately!
